Verification.

(A)
Every frozen
dessert manufacturer shall verify that the HACCP plan is adequate to control
food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, and that the plan is
being effectively implemented. Verification shall include, at a minimum:

(1)
A reassessment of the adequacy of the
HACCP plan whenever any changes occur that could affect the hazard analysis or
alter the HACCP plan in any way or at least annually. Such changes may include
changes in the following: Raw materials or source of raw materials, product
formulation, processing methods or systems, finished product distribution
systems, or the intended use or consumers of the finished product. The HACCP
plan shall be modified immediately whenever a reassessment reveals that the
plan is no longer adequate to fully meet the requirements of paragraph (C) of
rule 901:11-3-06 of the
Administrative Code.

(a)
A
review of any consumer complaints that have been received by the processor to
determine whether they relate to the performance of critical control points or
reveal the existence of unidentified critical control points;

(c)
The
performing of periodic end-product or in-process microbial testing.

(3)
A review, including signing
and dating, by a responsible individual of the records that document:

(a)
The monitoring of critical control
points. The purpose of this review shall be, at a minimum, to ensure that the
records are complete and to verify that they document values that are within
the critical limits. This review shall occur within one week of the day that
the records are made;

(b)
The
taking of corrective actions. The purpose of this review shall be, at a
minimum, to ensure that the records are complete and to verify that appropriate
corrective actions were taken in accordance with rule
901:11-3-07 of the
Administrative Code. This review shall occur within one week of the day that
the records are made; and

(c)
The
calibrating of any process control instruments used at critical control points
and the performing of any periodic end-product or in-process testing that is
part of the frozen dessert manufacturer's verification activities. The purpose
of these reviews shall be, at a minimum, to ensure that the records are
complete, and that these activities occurred in accordance with the frozen
dessert manufacturer's written procedures. These reviews shall occur within a
reasonable time after the records are made.

(B)
Frozen dessert manufacturers shall
immediately follow the procedures in rule
901:11-3-07 of the
Administrative Code whenever any verification procedure, including the review
of a consumer complaint, reveals the need to take a corrective action.

(C)
Whenever a frozen dessert
manufacturer does not have a HACCP plan because a hazard analysis has revealed
no food safety hazards that are reasonably likely to occur, the frozen dessert
manufacturer shall reassess the adequacy of that hazard analysis whenever there
are any changes that could reasonably affect whether a food safety hazard now
exists. Such changes may include, but are not limited to changes in: Raw
materials or source of raw materials, product formulation, processing methods
or systems, finished product distribution systems, or the intended use or
consumers of the finished product.

(D)
The calibration of process-monitoring
instruments, and the performing of any periodic end-product and in-process
testing, in accordance with paragraphs (A)(2)(b) and (A)(2)(c) of this rule
shall be documented in records that are subject to the recordkeeping
requirements of rule
901:11-3-09 of the
Administrative Code.
